If you feel out of life and the world because you just can’t fit in, find your place, or settle down, welcome to my blog because I feel your pain; I have been there and found the way out, so I can share my road to the exit from that soul-sucking feeling, so stay with me. My story is that I couldn’t figure out what to do with my life: I was paralyzed and stuck in the same inaction or motion loop, a crazy confusing space for over a decade.

I remember when I went to the psychologist exhausted after eight years of feeling embarrassed about myself and my place in life, and he greeted me and asked me: Can you tell me who you are and what you do in life?

I started sadly laughing in tears because had I known the answers, I wouldn’t have been there; I was there to figure out who I am and what I want to do with my life finally. I was desperate to find any guidelines on how to live my life, and it took me many years to understand that:

The instruction of life

There is no instruction or manual on living your life, which is the most perfect and imperfect thing about life. So, every single person has to figure this out for himself.

Well done, but this article is not for them; this is for the second group of people, the late bloomers, who can’t figure out what they want for their life, sometimes for half a lifetime or even more. Or you enjoyed doing a thing, had success, and now you wish to change your course and direction and don’t know where to go.
